Gael Ltd has partnered with leading Life Science validation specialists, CompliancePath, to offer a “fast track” validation service for customers.

CompliancePath brings together over 20 years’ experience in the Pharmaceutical, Biotechnology, Healthcare and Medical Device industries to deliver full service validation and compliance solutions at affordable prices.

Glasgow-based CompliancePath will boost Gael’s overall service to customers, providing a full end-to-end validation service of Q-Pulse, Gael’s flagship compliance management solution, for organisations in the UK, Europe, Middle East and Asia. The partnership between both companies will help reduce the full system validation time for organisations to within 25 days.

Hugh Devine, Managing Director at CompliancePath, said: "CompliancePath are delighted to announce our partnership with Gael which we believe represents a powerful opportunity to provide a validated accelerator pack to our regulated clients.

"The partnership is a strong strategic fit, leveraging both companies’ respective strengths which will benefit customers across three main areas. We are excited to be working with Gael and look forward to our continued joint success in the Life Science industry."

The three main areas CompliancePath and Gael will benefit customers include:

• Requirements for both 21 CFR Part 11 in the US and Annex 11 in the EU are met.
• Allow customers to be resource lean by reducing the time taken to execute key validation documents.
• Reduce the overall project cost for customers.

Since being launched in 2011, CompliancePath has gained a strong understanding of both the challenges companies face and the skills required to overcome them. They are already a leader in US and EU GxP, HIPAA, HITECH and NHS Directive solutions and their experienced project team members implement creative strategies to meet compliance needs, freeing customers to focus on their primary business objectives.

Gael’s flagship compliance management solution, Q-Pulse, provides an electronic centralised system for managing all compliance data, materials and activities. Q-Pulse can manage life science business functions efficiently and effectively in order to assure patients, the public and staff of the quality and safety of products and services within the Pharmaceutical, Medical Device and Biotech industries.

Chris Evans, Commercial Strategist for Gael’s Life Science team, said: "We are delighted to welcome CompliancePath as a collaborative partner. Computer software validation is a daunting, yet mandatory, activity within the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device industries and CompliancePath’s industry expertise provides risk based, cost effective validation services. Q-Pulse is the cornerstone of compliance practices for our regulated customers and through this partnership, Gael and CompliancePath, will be able to deliver a truly end-to-end compliance solution."

Blood TransfusionBlood Transfusion involves giving donor blood to a recipient patient. Screening is essential to avoid transfusion reactions. Blood banks use immunohematological techniques to determine rh and ABO blood group, and screen for antibodies using specific antisera. Blood Banks use Direct Coombs Tests (DCT) and Indirect Coombs Tests (IAT) to detect hemolysis and Haemolytic Disease of the Newborn (HDN).HematologyIn Haematology / Hematology, complete blood cell counts (or full blood counts) are obtained using automated blood count analyzers to enumerate blood cell types.  Hematology also encompasses haemostasis and coagulation, thrombophilia and hemophilia, plasma viscosity and ESR analysis, hemoglobinopathies, cell morphology and haematinic measurement.ImmunologyImmunological techniques measure and characterize immune responses. Immunology kits and analysis systems often use techniques such as ELISA, radioimmunoassay (RIA) and immunodiffusion assays, Immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry. Immunologists use equipment such as flow Cytometers, plate readers, plate washers and fluorescent microscopes.Cellular PathologyCellular Pathology deals with the microscopic analysis of tissue samples and cells. Sample preparation and processing includes fixation, staining, sectioning and slide mounting, using equipment such microtomes and cryostats. In choosing immunohistochemistry and immunocytochemistry kits, consider chromogens, staining method, antibodies, microscopes and imaging.Point-of-CarePoint-of-Care Testing (POCT) or Near Patient Testing (NPT) products are available for urine, blood and other clinical chemistry analyses. POCT includes: blood glucose testing, blood gas and electrolytes analysis, rapid coagulation testing (PT / INR), rapid cardiac markers diagnostics, drugs of abuse screening, urine strips testing, pregnancy testing, fecal occult blood analysis, food pathogens screening, hemoglobin diagnostics, infectious disease testing and cholesterol screening.Clinical ChemistryBiochemistry (or clinical chemistry) involves the analysis of bodily fluids using chemical tests. Techniques used include HPLC, chromatography, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, immunochemical, electrophoresis, turbidometric / spectrophotometric assay, MRI and ISE analysis. Tests are often carried out on plasma or serum but urine (urinalysis) and fecal specimens are also processed.Clinical GeneticsMolecular Genetics covers the analysis of hereditary genetic disease and chromosomal abnormalities. Genetics can be analysed using DNA, RNA, and protein microarrays, PCR, RT PCR and DNA sequencing. Genetic equipment includes genetic workstations, thermal cyclers, cooling blocks and electrophoresis products. Diagnostic kits are used for DNA / RNA extraction and purification.Clinical MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.

In vitro fertilization (IVF) refers to the fertilization of the egg outside of the human body, and is an important treatment for infertility.Quality Management
